Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective:To analyze the perioperative and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing LT due to BDI in a tertiary care center.Background:BDI is associated with significant morbidity and long-term impact on quality of life. LT represents the only possibility of a cure in patients with BDI who develop SBC.Methods:Retrospective cohort study from a prospective LT database. Between 2008 and 2019, patients with SBC due to BDI after cholecystectomy and requiring LT were identified. Perioperative and long-term outcomes were analyzed.Results:Among 354 LT, 12 patients underwent LT to treat post-cholecystectomy BDI and accounted for 3.4% of all LT. The median time from BDI to SBC diagnosis was 9.3 years (2.4-14). The mean time from SBC to inclusion on the waitlist was 2.4years (± 2.2). Postoperative complications occurred in 11 patients (91.6%); mainly infectious (9/12 patients, 75%), followed by renal complications (4/12 patients, 33.3%). Only 2 patients developed major complications, which were the patients who died, resulting in a 90-day mortality of 16.7%. After a mean follow-up of 40.3 months (± 42.2) survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 83%.Conclusions:Although BDI is an unusual indication for LT worldwide, it accounted for 3.4% of all LT in our center. Although postoperative mortality remains high, LT is the only possibility of a cure, with acceptable long-term outcomes. Early referral to a tertiary care center is essential to avoid long-term complications of BDI, such as SBC.
